The presentation of the fourth volume of the poetry collection ‘Álbumes Versàlia’ will take place on Thursday 28 November at 7 p.m. in the auditorium of the Casal Pere Quart in Sabadell (Carrer de Lacy, 11).
The latest book is entitled Por/Poder and is illustrated with twenty-seven drawings by the painter Jerónimo Prieto. The volume brings together the contributions of thirty-one poets on the chosen theme, headed by the poet and translator Arnau Pons and the poet Chantal Maillard, who, with texts written expressly for the occasion, open the first section: Caplletres.
The second is an anthology of poems from different periods and languages on the theme, freely commented on afterwards by a large number of poets, such as Nuria Busquet, Eduardo Moga, Josep Mi. Ripoll, Gemma Arimany, Emilia Conejo, Esteban Martínez Serra, Víctor Obiols, Xavier Farré, Luz Pichel, Josep Gerona Fumara, Jordi Llavina, Raquel Casas, Jaume Creus, and Joaquim Sala-Sanahuja, among others.
In the third section, all the participating poets offer us their unpublished poems. The book closes with an appendix containing the original versions of the poems translated.
The presentation ceremony will consist of the reading of some of the poems with commentary by the actors Enric López and Mi. Antonia Bartolí, and with the musical intervention of Joan Alavedra on the accordion.
